I'm a new pair of eyes everytime i am born
an original mind because i just died
and i'm scanning the horizon
for someone recognizing that i might have been queen
for every sun that sets there is a new one dawning
for every empire crushed there is a brand new nation
let the waters rise, i have ridden each tide
from the gates of the city where the first born died
and i might have been queen
i remember the girl in the fields with no name
she had a love
but the rivers won't stop for me
no, the rivers won't stop to me
i'm a new pair of eyes, an original mind
with my senses of old and the heart of a giant
and i'm searching through the wreckage
for some recollection that i might have been queen
for every sage that falls there's an ancient child

and i might have been queen
i remember the girl in the fields with no name
she had a love
but the rivers won't stop for me
no, the rivers won't stop to me

i look up to the stars with my perfect memory
i look through it all and my future is no shock to me
i look down but i see no tragedy
i look up to the stars till i find my destiny
i look up to my past, a spirit running free
i look down, i look down and i'm there in history
i'm a soul survivor
a soul survivor
on the river
but it won't stop
